steriods in baseball

[mighty mike]

Whatching espn and a report came across the screen that x amount of baseball players were tested and they all failed there test. No names or how many players. Baseball is in trouble

All you have to do is look at Barry bonds and Sammy Sosa back when they came up to the majors in the late 80's early 90's. Take a look at thier weights and builds back then, they were both around 180-185 lbs and now they are 230-245 with half the body fat. Those are just 2 examples and I will say that taking gear will not make you hit the ball for a better average but it will put an additional 50-100 feet when you do make contact. Baseball players are making so much money these days that they can pay a chemist a lot of money to make a designer steroid that is undetectable to any drug test( ex.. tht). HGH is undetectable to drug testing and I would bet my left arm that sosa and bonds are taking or have taken it. Just look at Sosa's facial bonestructure from 10-12 years ago and then look at a picture today of him . Just a little rant about how much of a joke this testing is!!!

I just saw the penalties for testing positive and they're even a bigger joke. Here's the penalties:

A first positive test for steroid use would result in treatment, a second in a 15-day suspension or a fine of up to $10,000. The punishment would increase to a 25-day suspension or fine of up to $25,000 for a third positive test, a 50-day suspension or fine of up to $50,000 for a fourth, and a one-year suspension or fine of up to $100,000 for a fifth.


There's nothing for these guys like Bonds, Sosa, Giambi, to really lose. The penalties are suspensions or fines. MLB will probably give all of them fines and what's $100,000 for any of these guys.

I dont think baseballs in trouble,Its going to suck if they start
testing,no more big hitters but its funny no one hit over fifty homers this year.its made baseball more exciting more homers
per player 2 25 or more homerun hitters per team and thats what
fans want homeruns.

they should just make the parks bigger and be done with it

 

[jaywooly]

I don't know about this. I say let 'em take juice if they want to. And make the ball parks smaller while they're at it. Make it a team home run derby. If you don't hit it out of the park it's an out. While we're on the subject, GO A'S!!!!!

I read 5% came out positive but that was not a test for designer aas.
I bet its actually over 70% range.
